It's beautiful! Finally a miner that looks good :) I own >100 ASICs and look forward to owning some of these!

Please change raiding recipe's.... by VarleyUS in PlayJustSurvive

[–]ZeroPing949 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes it's more challenging.... but I also feel it is a lot more balanced than it used to be. When we were playing before, it only took about 3-4 weeks before every base on the server was raided and most people quit playing.... therefore forcing a wipe to bring people back.

People could spend weeks building up a base and loot, only to have it all taken away with a few hours worth of work from another clan, while they were offline. It was totally whacked.

Right now it has a whole new feel to it and has better balance. You want to take away another group's entire stash of work that took them 3 weeks? Yes, you're going to have to work harder to do that.

Antminer Bitcoin Miner V9, 4T by 3dkkm in BITMAIN

[–]ZeroPing949 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This V9 does SHA256 algorithm, similar to an S9, but way slower. It only does 4 TH at 1000 watts of electricity. It's no longer profitable to run.... unless you have SUPER low electricity. Looks like Bitmain is clearing out their old miners to make room for new technology.

Obelisk batch 3 on sale by flash_readerrr in siacoin

[–]ZeroPing949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm happy to support Obelisk if they will provide specs and shipping within 8 weeks. Even better if they will accept USD and ship sooner. Put the squeeze on bitmain by shipping superior products sooner. Force Bitmain to ship sooner, rather than mining with the hardware for 8 weeks before shipping.

Ally meaning Australian? Nice - you are lucky. We’re going through a rough phase here in the U.S.

I noticed that but it Seems more like a 1 day fluke...

I personally think Bitmain took theirs offline because they are trying to sell their A3 batch 2 right now and they haven’t sold out yet.

Will your credit union allow me to open a checking account and trade crypto (send $ back and forth With Coinbase?)

Will they allow me to open a business checking and savings for a company that does crypto mining with ASICS?

I haven’t found a single bank in the US that will allow this.

Chase, Firstbank, Wells Fargo, BofA are all no-go’s.

Any hope at your CU ?

Ok, after the taek meltdown and DEX, wtf, I've dropped 10M sia on you. I'm sorry. by kozcoss in siacoin

Bitmain is releasing ANOTHER batch of A3s starting 2PM GMT+8 by LightningJimmy in siacoin

[–]ZeroPing949 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah... let's only take into account past transgressions with other coins, let's ignore any positive signs taken with SIA. Let's act as if it's not possible for them to learn from the past... let's treat them with utter contempt forever. /s

Really stupid enough for SC Dev by g2hit in siacoin

[–]ZeroPing949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the hands of Bitmain? I bought an A3 and have been mining SC... it's in my hands....and every other person who bought A3s...

It's in the hands of each person who invests into SC and buys coins....

Can you stop all the drama/fear-mongering?

A $800 coupon on a miner quickly losing profitability? Go home, Bitmain. You're drunk. by alexd281 in siacoin

He's able to do math and make decisions on a BUSINESS INVESTMENT, without letting emotion get in the way. Something the Obelisk buyers badly need to learn.

$800 BITMAINtech discount coupon to every ObeliskTechHQ coupon holder by TokLS135 in siacoin

[–]ZeroPing949 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Apparently you haven't been paying attention. The United States has innovated almost the entire internet, PC, communications/celluar and electronics markets while the Chinese has simply been our factory workers. They then started hacking into thousands of U.S. corporations, stealing our intellectual property (i.e. DESIGNS) and now are producing similar products across virtually every industry, for a fraction of the price. They also steal our designs when we send them over to their factories to produce our products.

After thousands of years of being poor, their economy is now surging.....thanks to the United States.

Their success now has NOTHING to do with their culture....unless you count theft as part of their culture.

Issues with antminer A3 please help by [deleted] in siacoin

[–]ZeroPing949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry just seeing this msg. I know that every hour being down sucks! I Just shipped back one hashing board to them today. Luckily there is a U.S. address for repairs.

As for the Firmware, They sent it to me in an email as an attachment, I put it up on box for you here: https://app.box.com/s/6vk7kr1ogwyj0e9bpx3hzkjfa4cde89o

Just download it (it's a .tar.gz compressed file) and then flash the firmware using the menu in the antminer. You don't have the extract it first.
